The moment when the two of them ran into the forest, Li TienNiu also saw them and stopped in his tracks.

”It's him.” Li Tieniu naturally recognized Xie Si. He had originally thought that Jiang Jiayi had come to take Gu Lin Xi away. However, the truth exceeded his expectations. He didn't think that Xie Siqian would appear and take Gu Jingxi away. Was he chasing him or not? He hesitated for a moment. If it was Jiang Jiayi, he would naturally give chase. However, this person was Xie Siqiang. There was still a difference between Xie Siqiang and Jiang Jiayi.

Being able to find Gu Linxi could also be considered as Xie Siqiang having some ability, or perhaps it could be said that he was too concerned about Gu Linxi. If it hadn't been for his heart, why would he have come to look for Gu Linxi? Li Tieniu didn't hesitate for too long. The mountain wasn't safe at all. The two of them were running around everywhere, so they might encounter some danger.

Li Tieniu stopped the villagers who wanted to search for him. He could handle this matter by himself. When these people heard Li Tieniu's words, they all went back to their own homes. It was just a happy occasion, but it turned out to be a farce. Even with so many people, they were unable to catch two people and even allowed the other party to escape into the mountains.

This mountain is not safe. These two might not be able to leave alive.

After all the villagers had left, Li TienNiu went into the mountains to look for someone. There were indeed fierce beasts in the mountain, but for some reason, they would never go down the mountain to hurt people. The villagers wouldn't deliberately provoke them, as they had always been at peace. If Gu Xiangxi and Xie Siying were to encounter a ferocious beast, the odds were against them.

”Put me down.”

Although it was not late in the night, the moment they entered the mountain, they felt a sense of shade. Gu Linxi didn't hear the footsteps of anyone chasing after them, so she let Xie Sisi put him down first. After getting down from Xie Sizui's back, the two of them found a random spot to sit and rest. They were all a little tired, and since they had been tense all this time, they felt even more physically and mentally exhausted.

Xie Siqian wanted to use his hand to wipe away the filth on Gu Lin Xi's face, but it seemed as if Gu Lin Xi's face had become even more unsightly. This was the first time he'd seen Gu Linxi's comical appearance. Xie Siqian couldn't help but smile.

”What are you laughing at?” Gu Linxi clearly hadn't realized how funny her current face was, because the matter of her escape had already caused her to be unable to divert any of her attention towards that face of hers. Her face was already covered with white powder and blush, and as she ran along, the sweat on her face made her appearance even more unsightly.

If one were to speak of the person who could have directly shocked the soul in the cemetery earlier, then now, even in broad daylight, Gu Linxi's appearance would be able to cause a person to have a heart attack.

”I'm fine.” Xie Siqiang didn't know whether or not he should warn Gu Lin Xi. However, he thought that if he said it out loud, Gu Lin Xi would definitely get angry, so he didn't say anything further. In any case, he hadn't paid much attention to what Gu Linxi looked like, as appearance wasn't important to him. Even if Gu Linxi was an old grandma at the age of eighty, Xie Siqian wouldn't change his mind.

Seeing that she seemed to be lying, Gu Linxi felt a little stuffy and subconsciously wiped the sweat off her face with her sleeve. Then, she saw that her hand was covered in white ash. Gu Linxi went blank for a moment before quickly realizing what the problem was.
